Perfect French Twist Hairstyle by Courtney Thorne-Smith in Hollywood

Courtney Thorne-Smith is the picture of evening perfection on the red carpet wearing her hair up in a gorgeously styled neat French Twist updo.

You can never go wrong with a French Twist—if you keep it neat and set the structure into a good shape like this. A little height and not completely round looks very nice.

Courtney's evening hairstyle is reminiscent of her wedding hairstyle. Do you remember the issue of InStyle magazine a few years ago when she was on the cover in her wedding dress? She had short hair back then, but it was angled in a sideswept style similar to this at the front. It's an elegant wispy look.

Courtney's designer formal dress is quite dramatic. It certainly flatters her figure and makes the most of her hips, but the dramatic difference in fabric between the bodice and the rest of it doesn't quite look right. The very shiny top and very matte bottom sort of cuts her off at the hips.
